up, louisiana governor bobby jindal says it's time for his party to stop, quote, being the stupid party. ed he urges the republicans to reject intellectualism. except jindal is teaching creationism in his public schools. >>> the fiscal cliff, how much room is the left willing to give president obama on entitlement reform? what is the breaking point? on issues like social security and medicare? the president may have found out today when he met with them, labor and progressive leaders. we'll talk to one of the people in that room. fascinating stuff coming up here. >>> yes, people are looking forward to 2016, and the name on everybody's list and lips is hillary clinton. the nomination will be hers if she wants it. who doesn't know that? >>> finally, think we're all coming together after the election? not in texas where 60,000 people have signed a petition to secede from the union. what else is new? one gop official down there even wrote a column asking for an amicable divorce from what he called the maggots who elected president obama. they won't quit. read my lips, by the way, no n

, to rubio. >> bobbi jindal? paul ryan? >> but this is a beauty contest phase. it tells you nothing because the real decision will come when they decide on politics questions. you have already seen some push back against traditional republicans. they said, look, the problem was that we went with a moderate and did not get one of our own. that argument will come up over and over again. it will come up over immigration. there are some very strong people who are also going to fight. they have battles ahead of them. >> you have to be miss oklahoma before you can be miss america, charles. >> that is a very deep thought. >> i am loaded with them. >> i had not really contemplated it. you mean, christy who gave -- >> and don't go there. >> and chris christie is actually right now in quarantine. in about six months he will be ready to rejoin the race. one interesting about these candidates is there is not a stark ideological development -- division between them. there is not a single issue over which you go left or right. i think there is a consensus, what you start with ryan, rubio, jeb bush, jinda

governor bobby jindal, incoming chair of the governor's association says, quote, i think that's wrong. we have to stop dividing the american voters. we need to go after 100% of the votes, not 53%. and we need to continue to show how our policies helped every voter out there achieve the american dream. which is to be in the middle class. let's bring in our strategy panel, american spectator, contributor, editor j.p.freher. let's start with you, jp. the romney campaign saying he was e will be rating on what he said about the campaign's eftd to target key demographics. most specifically women. are free gifts what sealed the deal for president obama? >> well, i don't think this explains what happens in new hampshire. if you look at the turnout in ohio, for instance, romney had fewer votes than mccain. so it doesn't actually explain all that much regarding his loss. i think that romney is just sort of falling back on some bad advice, which he had been receiving through the campaign. it's a real shame. it also positions the party very poof poorly. i think what governor jindal said is very corre

governor bobby jindal. >> absolutely reject that notion that description. i think that's absolutely wrong. i don't think that represents where we are as a part and where we're going as a party. that's got to be one of the most fundamental takeaways from the election. >> joining us discuss all of this and more, republican strategic mark mckinnon co-founder of no labels which aims to get political leaders to stop fighting and start fixing. a lot needs to be fixed. i guess i wonder, as someone that has watched this election cycle, what you make of the ashes that have resulted at the end of it, which is to say, how does the republican party go on and what do they need to do from here? you see two various factions of the party, mitt romney on one side, someone like bobby jindal seemingly on the other? >> i come down squarely with governor jindal. the last thing the party needs to do is to be looking backwards, casting blame. there needs to be self-reflection and taking responsibility for the outcome, not blaming others. we need to expand the base. we need to be more diverse, tolerant. you know

expect from their governor. jindal goes on to heap praise on christie. jindal was one of the prominent republican attackers of mitt romney after mitt romney's big loss. and a ppp poll done this month in new hampshire finds chris christie leads the pack for his party's nomination in 2013. he has 20%. condoleezza rice at 13%. jeb bush, 11. paul ryan, 10%. joining me now is jonathan capehart. welcome to what i believe may be our very first 2016 republican presidential sweepstakes segment. we've seen some grumbling and saw some at the time, who were grumbling about chris christie and his partnership with president obama in dealing with the disaster in new jersey as a result of hurricane sandy. but you don't hear it now and the interesting thing is i didn't hear anyone of prominence quoted by name in criticizing christie that way. plenty of people including jindal, happy to criticize mitt romney by name. >> well, sure, after the election and remember when bobby jindal criticized mitt romney, it was after mitt romney had said something like really, really dumb. also, the other thing about ch

jindal, he slammed romney's comments. >> i absolutely reject that motion. that description. i think that's absolutely wrong. that is not -- i don't think that represents where we are as a party, and where we're going as a party. >> later, jindal said this to reporters. we've got to stop dividing the american voters. we need to go after 100% of the votes, not 53%. romney's supporter alfonzo algolar just on the program yesterday. saying he lost the election by making comments like that latinos. apparently governor romney doesn't understand why he lost. it was an odd thing for the way romney worded that. perhaps he didn't know people would be listening in on that. it does come across as bitter. and it's oddly laughable blaming voters for the president claiming the president delivered for them, as opposed to what mitt romney was saying. an odd decision. watch the 2016ers, by the way, like bobby jindal, watch them pile on romney. this is a softball for them, as they try to distinguish themselves as a new leader of the republican party. >>> another formidable opponent, senator john mccain, he'

elected louisiana governor bobby jindal as the chairman. just yesterday he slammed romney again, his claims that the loss was due to gifts the president gave to certain voters. today he said it's time for republicans to start looking toward the future. >> this is completely unhelpful. this is not where the republican party needs to go. you need to congratulate the president on his win. it was an impressive win. as a party we need to look forward. >> let me bring in our "news nation" political panel, white house editor for politico rachel and david. rachel, it was your paper, news blog that originally had the jindal comments and he goes on air. i don't know if that's doubling down or putting a face to your words, but nevertheless governor jindal has -- jon i don't know if it's love lost for mitt romney. what's the motivation? >> think about bobby jindal in the new position. the party is having a very public soul-searching after the election about how to bring in more hispanics, more latinos to show minorities and women voters that they are an all-encompassing party. here comes mitt ro

what does the party do next? we were talking about it, paul. i want to play something that bobby jindal, the governor of louisiana, someone who has been very prominent since the election had to say not just about the republican party but about their senate candidates. let's listen. >> we don't need a demonizer or to be saying stupid things. we had candidates in indiana and missouri had a said offensive things that not only hurt themselves and lost us two senate seats but hurt the republican party. >> okay. so he's talking about todd akin in missouri. richard mourdock who made rape comments that they should not have made. you are down there every day with senate republicans. despite the fact that they lost seats and everyone thought they would pick up seats, john cornyn was chairman of the campaign committee, moved up. why? >> when it comes to choosing those spots, those positions, those leaders, it is about i have known you for 10 or 12 years. and a certain bond and trust that happens there. that you just cannot replace and mitch mcconnell does that better than anyone inside the senate.

as governor jindal says on not being the party of stupid. former governor says the party needs a proctology exam. and now in a sign of party unity, they're all tripping over themselves to reject mitt romney's gift comments. >> we're in a big hole. we're not getting out of it by comments like that. when you're in a hole, stop digging. he keeps digging. >> sounds like he'd be happy if mr. romney stayed in that hole. but mr. goingrich one-upped him. >> i just think it's nuts. first of all, it's insulting. this would be like walmart having a bad week and going the customers have really been unruly. >> romney's comments are insulting. that from the man who coined the phrase "food stamp president." here's a little secret. a funny thing happened on the gop road to redemption. they're starting to show they're not really interested in change. take senator marco rubio, a republican front-runner for 2016. in an interview, he was asked how ould the earth is. rubio said, "i'm not a scientist, man. i can tell you what recorded history says. i can tell you what the bible says. but i think that's a dispute

, but it is being said. louisiana governor bobby jindal came out strongly against romney's comments wednesday and continued yesterday. >> this is unhealthy. this is not where the republican party needs to go. if you want voters to like you, the first thing you've got to do is to like them first. it's certainly not helpful to tell voters that you think their votes were bought. that's certainly not a way to show them that you respect them, you like them. we need to stop talking down to voters. i truly believe people on food stamps, on government assistance, don't want to be there. they're there because they don't have the ability to get better paying jobs. it's our responsibility to give them the education, give them the opportunities to have a better quality of life. >> then we have senator marco rubio of florida who offered a carefully worded reaction to romney, telling "politico," quote, i don't want to rebut him point by point. i would just say to you, i don't believe that we have millions and millions of people in this country that don't want to work. okay. and former mississippi governor,

, they included bobby jindal who was best known for totally blowing the republican response to the 2009 state of the union. >> good evening and happy mardi gras. i'm bobby jindal, governor of la louisiana. >> jindal has been the lead voice in the romney dissing, self-critical ameliorated gop. >> i absolutely reject that notion that description. i think that's absolutely wrong. >> this is completely not helpful. this is not where the republican needs to go. we need to stop being the dumb party. we need to offer smart, conservative, intelligent ideas and policies. that's how we win elections. we don't win elections insulting voters. >> a word to the wise or the wise-ish, throwing mitt romney off the deep end is the easy part. fixing the deeper problems may take some actual work. karen finney, now, grant eed mi romney's comments were objectively speaking pretty stupid. >> yeah. >> very telling it's this week that bobby jindal is saying we need to stop being the dumb party. as if there wasn't a lion's share of support for mitt romney up until this point. >> there wasn't dumb party stuff going on

't move a muscle. next, scott walker, bobby jindal, jeb bush. yes, the gop is all set to take back the white house in 2016. stay with us.

the right. governor bobby jindal leads the republican backlash against mitt romney's excuse for not winning. why romney's claim of the president's, quote, gifts to blacks, latinos, women and young voters, might be an official hat hash tag fail. >> i don't think that represents where we are as a party and going as a party. >> new comments from the rnc about why romney really lost. we have new information from their official report, and guess what it's missing? the word "gifts." join our conversation on twitter. you can find us @tamronhall a and @newsnation. ♪ i'd like to thank eating right, whole grain, multigrain cheerios! mom, are those my jeans? [ female announcer ] people who choose more whole grain tend to weigh less than those who don't. multigrain cheerios . >>> welcome back, louisiana governor republican bobby jindal is going after mitt romney after romney was recorded telling donors that he lost election because president obama gave gifts to gain support of women, minorities and young people. msnbc is uncertain exactly when the call took place, but it was after the election. here'

't understand how anybody other than bobby jindal would be the only one who would step up to the plate. they all should step up to the plate. >> well, well-said. here is bobby jindal, one of the people who has distanced himself from this claim the only reason romney lost the race to president obama is because he was out bought. as you said, here is louisiana governor, jobby jindal. let's listen. >> i absolutely reject that notion, that description. i think that's absolutely wrong. i don't think that represents where we are as a party and where we're going as a party. and i think that's got to be one of the most fundamental take aways from the election. >> that's a good sign that a little republican diversity won't hurt. scott walker backed up jindal's comments saying the gop isn't just for people who are currently not dependent on the people, it's for all americans. andrea mitchell reports republican senator kelly ayotte distanced herself also from the gifts comment. >> so the you're not comfortable with what you heard him say? >> i don't know the full context of them but i don't agree with the

in that if you listen to governor jindal, it seems as though they're backing away and trying to tone down some of the rhetoric. but the rhetoric doesn't match it the the policies. they can't hold on to those kinds of policies. everybody has something at stake. the deadline is real now. >> this is not a small point. this idea that on the one hand, nothing changes. obviously this is the same actual human beings, the same people in the same positions as before because it's not post january 20th. but the outcome of the election does feel like it is fundamentally change the how power is operating. >> i think the other power dynamic that changed is speaker boehner's power has changed. he worked really hard to re-elect his caucus and got a majority of his caucus when a democratic president won in a difficult economy. he can say to his caucus follow me here. he's gotten things done in his career in washington. if you look at his power, his changing power within his caucus, he's going to be able to pull a few more members with him. i know there are definitely conservatives saying hey, we came to town o

governor bobby jindal, one of the lucky ones who dodged the bullet in mitt romney's selection of a running mate tells politico to stop being the stupid party. we cannot be, we must not be the party that simply protects the rich. it can't be tolerated within our party. we have also had enough of this dumbed-down conservatism, we need to stop insulting the intelligence of the voters. joining me now, msnbc's joy reed and ari melber. stop being the stupid party. that's a tall order now for the republicans, isn't it? >> yeah. bobby jindal, i guess he has coherent advice. i am not sure if you look at his stance, teaching creationism in public schools, not sure he is going to help them in his own state, and it's interesting that paul ryan sort of made these assertions that we didn't really lose, we actually won because the house of representatives, he made a good point. look at florida. all of the republicans in swing districts, people who were the most associated with paul ryan's ideas, people like allen west, for instance, lost. they lost in those swing districts because those guys, especially

romney lost this race. i think governor jindal hit it right. we need to talk about what brings us together. >> bill: as you may know, i did an analysis pretty much saying the same thing and i think that's what mitt romney picked up on and by the way, to put it in context, he was speaking to campaign donors. he was explaining look, you gave me all this money and i didn't win and one of the reasons was i couldn't overcome the entitlement society. that was my analysis as well. is that what you get tremendous amount of money flowing out of washington, into certain hands, that the hands that receive that money are not going to want it to stop. so therefore, they're going to devote, which they did, all the stats show they did, income under $30,000 overwhelmingly broke for barak obama. so i don't think the governor's analysis was wrong whereas governor jindal does think it was wrong. i think he's right on the money, mr. salesman. >> i think he lost for a couple different reasons. when the governor was talking about his agenda, it seemed like the campaign strategy was we're not going to l

. that belongs in the isn't it ironic file doesn't it? they will not build the -- bobby jindal, scott walker, rick perry, the governor of oklahoma -- >> yeah, somebody sent me an article last week, and it is actually a good gamble for them, because they have procrastinated so much now that it will be hard to get everything up and running by the beginning of january 2014, so they have to scramble, and they were procrastinating because they didn't think the president would win a second term. >> stephanie: because they were listening to orca. >> right. so the idea is turn it over to the federal government but it's actually strategically smart on their part because if it is a success, they are continue with it and take it over if it's a failure they can blame it on the federal government. >> stephanie: yeah the obama administration obviously had wanted them to build them, right, so they would have an incentive to make them work, but this way they can scapegoat in case things go wrong. again, didn't we used to try to govern this country in a way that was good for everybody?

jindal was out at a mike within hours. >> i absolutely reject that notion, that description. i think that's absolutely wrong. i don't think that represents where we are as a party and where we're going as a party. >> well, into which dimension the party is headed still remains very much up for question. let's get right to our panel. here in new york joy reid is the managing editor of thegrio.com. msnbc contributor ari melber is a columnist for "the nation." and in washington msnbc contributor jared bernstein, a senior fellow and former economist for vice president joe biden. ari, if i can start with you, let's set aside for the moment the racism and the contempt for his fellow americans. don't these kind of views ethically disqualify someone for the highest office in the land? i mean, e dee amin had a warmer attitude toward his electorate and he is said to have eaten some of them. >> i didn't expect the cannibalism right out of the gate. i agree with your premise, what kind of view not only of government but of society is this? you go out and ask the people who have fema helping them resp

jindal jumped on him. but not just that, but so did pretty much every republican in washington and elsewhere jumped on him. you're going to see a difference in tone from the republicans. and i don't know if that will work or not, but you're definitely going to see it. and you're already seeing the early signs of it. >> so then, peter, what is the first step in rebuilding the party? >> i think the first step in rebuilding the party is distancing itself from its last nominee, but also distancing itself from george w. bush. and this has been a big problem for the republicans is that they've always been a sort of loyalist party that sticks by their guys that was a big problem for mitt romney. it really sort of contained him and con stwland he could do, because he could never really say anything bad about george bush. the party right now is taking good first steps in distancing itself from a nominee who didn't do the job, didn't get it done. and they need to find something new. >> all right, guys. stick with me if you will. we're going to take a quick break. when we come back, why 2

'll talk with two leading governors bobby jindal of louisiana, and scott walker of wisconsin. plus, the president and congressional leaders try to pull back from the fiscal cliff. with 44 days and counting we'll ask our sunday panel can a deal be made in time. and our power player of the week, killing us softly with her songs, all, right now, on fox news sunday. ♪ >> chris: and hello, again from fox news in washington. we'll talk with our guests in a moment but first an update on the tense military situation on the gaza border. leland vittert has the latest. leland? >> reporter: chris, israel is very much a country on the brink of war. we have seen hundreds, if not thousands of tanks and personally carriers, ready to push into the gaza strip, in a moment's notice, because the airstrike simply did not stop the rockets flying out of gaza, towards israel. and the iron dome intercepted a number of those rockets today. however, about 8 or 10 got through, causing a half dozen injuries inside of southern israel. and, for the israelis, the airstrikes continued pounding away, day five of

governor bobby jindal took exception to mr. romney's comments. >> i think that is absolutely wrong. we have got to stop dividing the american voters. we need to go after 100% of the votes, not 53%. we need to go after every single vote. you to connect your policies to the aspirations of the american people. i don't think the cam pape did that. as a result, this became a contest between personalities and chicago loves that. >> eric: here is where i am. i'll throw it out there quickly. i think the republicans need to focus their attention. some people may be too far right and some may be close to the center for you. pick a lane, republicans. get behind someone and win an election. this infighting is no good for me. >> greg: i kind of disagree. this is called a hate fact. it's a fact that people hate. this is how obama won. however, you do have to go after every vote. but you have to play the game they do. that is what the argument is about. even loves santa claus on christmas morning but no one wants the credit card in january. until that bill is due, which will probably come in mandarin the

governor bobby jindal asked about the romney comments yesterday at the republican governors association conference. >> no, look, i think that's absolutely wrong. two points on that. one, we have got to stop dividing the american voters. we need to go after 100% of the votes, not 53%. i absolutely reject that notion, that description. i think that's absolutely wrong. that is not -- i don't think that represents where we are as a party and where we're going as a party. and i think that -- that has not got to be the most fundamental takeaway from the election. >> for continuing to spotlight the most alienating, most elitist, most resentment driven weaponized thurston howell ideological edge to what republicans are offering the country. you can see why they'd be so angry at him. the country as a whole maybe owes mitt romney a debt of gratitude for continuing to exist in the public eye and continuing to insist there was nothing wrong with his campaign and the democrats' victory should be ascribed only to a vast bribery conspiracy involving, like, green cards and condoms. what is good about t

a better candidate like bobby jindal or jeb bush, because they get that and this is not about passing immigration reform, although i would like to see the immigration reform passed, because it is good for the country and good for the economy and the groups that come in and we need a shot in the arm, and i th think that having illegal immigrants here is bad for the immigrants and bad for the economy and that is not the only thing to solve the problem, but get it off of the table and get it done with. >> and admiral, conservatives deserted mitt romney like rats on a ship. >> i'm no rat! >> and now, there is a division of race and class and the conservatives have a message going to john's point that appeals across the board. what might be that message that resonates that he is alluding to? >> well, i think that the grand old party can be a very viable party in the future, if it goes back to the american roots. they have one of the two roots down well, rugged individualism, but the other root that they used to be on the forefront of was where rugged individualism was always in alliance wi

of the curve in trying to step past mitt romney. the other guy trying this strategy is bobby jindal. he's just been hammering romney. i point out christie's reaction to jindal's comments on "morning joe." >> you're seen as a leader. it was a terrible thing to say and said terribly? >> yeah, sure. you can't expect to be the leader of all the people and be devisive. you have to talk about themes, policies that unite people. >> i feel like we're seeing two camps emerge here. mario rubio trying to say we need a better candidate. you're seeing the jindal/christie theory of 2016 where they try to move beyond the base a bit or seem like they are moving beyond the base to talk to new voters. do you think that's about right? >> i think you can add jeb bush to that camp as well. my head is spinning from chris christie, mr. punch a teacher saying we have to be less divisive. but he's very divisive in union issues. that wing of the party understand they are going to do to have base expansion. in order for them to get the nomination, they are going to do what john mccain and mitt romney had to do. during t

'll be talking to governor jindal and governor scott walker. >> what's interesting about this is mitt romney held a conference call with some of his top donors this week, and you may have heard about it, where he said, listen, the reason the democrats won is obama and the democrats were giving, he said, gifts to hispanics and young people, pell grants, tuition aid, and things like that and obama care, that those were gifts. republicans like jindal fired back, can't divide the country, and the people who voted for democrats didn't just do it because they want things from government. there's really an effort to turn the page on 2012 as quickly as possible and try to reshape this party. we'll talk to bobby jindal and scott walker at the top of the hour about that. >> lots to talk about. thank you so much for your time. >> you bet. >> you can catch fox news sunday at 9:00 a.m. after our show. >>> video captured by nasa friday still making headlines across the web. this is incredible. this is the sun unleashing a monster eruption of super hot plasma. fortunately, it wasn't aimed at earth. if it had be

. martinez, rubio, lots of examples. one person i have to say i have a bias towards is bobby jindal. he can articulate to conservatives and he has put them in practice, by partisanship, getting a thing is done. i do think there's a great future and a lot of real leaders in the republican party who can articulate conservative policies. >> we have a terrific second panel coming up in a few minutes. i do see some of our speakers here, but i want to ask if there were any standouts for you in terms of personalities or players in this race. i was very struck that cnn really found its groove with john mccain on the message board and you could find the information you were looking for. i was really struck by margaret hoover, a political columnist who is so beautiful that people think she's not going to be smart and every time she speaks you think, "while coming is she's smart -- "wow, is she smart?" what are some institutions that really blew away? >> i would say, going back to mine original theory, sasha eisenberg and his book, "the victory allowed-- lap." hot he said it was going to come down to

. the republicans are up a bad creek without a paddle. conservative governors like bobby jindal and scott walker have emerged, trying to moderate their party's agenda. but jindal and walker both had no answers on what they would do for the middle class. >> president obama says look, let's extend the bush tax cuts, the lower tax rates for 98% of all taxpayers, including the middle class right now. i'll sign it today. he took out his pen at the news conference. and the republicans are saying no, no, no, we can't do that until we decide what we're going to do with the top 2% of taxpayers. why wouldn't a middle class voter look at that and say these guys, the gop, are all about protecting the rich? >> crystal clear. pretty direct question, wouldn't you think? here is jindal's answer. >> we need to make it very clear we're not the party protecting the rich. they can protect themselves. we're the party that wants growth, pro-growth policies. >> no, no, no, it's the answer. i was at a football game last night, and i didn't see a punt any better than that one which you just saw from governor bobby jinda

with the headline, acted as are urging a new republican. we see an image of governor bobby jindal of louisiana governor bob mcdonnell of virginia. they're saying that you key -- what you see the message being? >> i think that's part of the. it's interesting the republican party need to do two things simultaneously that seem to be almost opposite. want to thank us to be more cosmic whole thing. if elected republicans who really have done well in the pentagon its people like ronald reagan. of course, a movie actor who could go and talk to the elites in new york and washington, d.c. but also has this pipe is to give. the reagan democrats both in pennsylvania and ohio blue-collar workers. he could resonate with them. and it's not fair to say this to mitt romney, but he could not come he did not have the populist appeal. just by virtue of who he was who he is, his biography and his very demeanor. mitt romney, his brand was always going to be rich republican working gecko guy, and, of course, it ended up that way. >> host: matt l

to his base coalition groups. but louisiana governor bobby jindal seems to become away from those comments. take a a listen. >> we as a republican party have to campaign for every single vote. if we want people to like us we have to like them first. jon: joining us now the former chair of the republican party in virginia. and the president and founder of ndn a think tank in washington, he is also a former campaign adviser to president clinton. first of all what do you think about governor romney's assertion that essentially president obama bought himself the election by handing out freebies? >> well, i have to agree with governor jindal that that is not the correct analysis, and what jindal and the other governors, scott walker, bob mcdonald, susana martinez are doing is having this honest reflex about what happened and the governors are the best place for it to start. we have 30 republican governors in the country and they are looking and saying, hey, wait a minute, we campaigned for this narrow group and tried to just get enough white males, enough married women. we need to star

bobby jindal? >> yeah, saying what you said. let's go to the politico playbook's executive editor jim vandehei. in the wake of mitt romney's loss, how are folks in the gop like jindal trying to reframe the party's agenda? using joe's words. >> well, good morning. bobby jindal called politico to offer his first thoughts on the election. and it's pretty interesting. he said the party has to stop being the stupid party and that they have to recalibrate pretty dramatically and stop being the party of big business, big wall street, big banks, big anything. and he said this dumbed down conservatism is killing the republican party. >> boy, i'll tell you what, man, that -- it's so great hearing him say that. of course, nicole wallace and i always were talking about, you know, nicole has said and i've repeated on this show all the time she said, let's stop having the debate on whether the conservative party or moderate party. let's stop being the stupid party. and i think jindal's right. and that's the thing that was so frustrating. why weren't we just as suspicious of big banks and big corpor

to watch the screen here. because louisiana's bobby jindal is taking over the leadership of the republican governor's association, you know that. he's bringing some tough love to the party. listen to what he told politico. quote, we cannot be, we must not be the party that simply protects the rich so they get to keep their toys. the reality is, we have to be a party of solutions and not just bumper sticker slogans. he called on republicans to stop being the stupid party. as my friend soledad likes to say, a come to jesus moment for the gop, wolf? >> well, they certainly thought they were going to win the presidential race. they went in convinced that all the so-called mainstream polls were wrong, that they were oversampling for democrats and undersampling for republicans. if anything, we undersampled the number of democrats that would show up. democrats were clearly much more enthusiastic than republicans and the republicans and bobby jindal, the governor of louisiana recognizes this, they have a problem right now. they have a problem recruiting minorities, whether african-americans or his

hit the nail on the head. but louisiana governor bobby jindal might be onto something. he says the republicans need to stop being the stupid party. wow, the stupid party. there is a war inside the gop and nobody knows how this will end. joining me now, steve kornacki and krystal ball, co-hosts of "the cycle" on msnbc. >> our guys, the upper echelon of the republican party, want to fashion themselves as members of the ruling class. we the country class are not in the ruling class. we're in a problem. >> steve, limbaugh is pointing to a big split in the party. where do you think this is going? is this a fight we're going to see rush and the establishment have? >> yeah. this is the problem for the republican party. that kind of a fight is probably good for rush limbaugh in terms of it gives him something to talk about, gives him status within the conservative movement. and it really allows him to rile up his audience, his base and say, i'm the voice of the pure conservative. it's this sellouts in the party establishment who were trying to get us to fold on our principles on what w

, and we are hearing from bobby jindal, for instance, last night saying this is trash. stay away from it. kelly ayotte said the same thing today. >> scott walker. >> some republicans are liberated by this defeat now. it's interesting to see how it broadens now. >> some are liberated by it, but some are focused on the free stuff need. it's disgusting and offensive, and it's why they use the word "pandering" when we talk about the groups that get entitlements rather than how liberals look at it in terms of protecting personal liberty and giving people that help the least fortunate among us. i don't want free stuff. i want people who are vulnerable to be protected by government. that's not looking for free stuff, and there's nothing wrong with that. as long as the gop keeps looking at it like that, they're going to keep losing national elections and losing this demographic trend that we have going on. chuck todd talked about it this morning in first read. when you think about it, romney's explanation for obama's viktvy laughable. the president won because he successfully delivered to his vo

to be running away from him. bobby jindal and scott walker were quick to reject romney today. watch this. >> i absolutely reject that notion, that description. i think that's absolutely wrong. that is not -- i don't think that represents where we are as a party. >> we're the party that helps people find a pathway to live the american dream. and it's not just for people who are currently not dependent on the government. it's for all americans. >> abby, your father was considered by many to be too moderate for these candidates that ran in this primary. do you think that more moderate voices in the republican party will stand up like we just saw jindal and, of all people, scott walker? >> they're not even moderates. they're just reasonable. >> right. reverend, my dad doesn't look so crazy after all, does he? i mean, what happened tuthen advertisety? when i see some of these gop are speaking out such as governor jindal -- >> who are not moderates. david's right. go ahead. >> if you go back and read some of his tweets during the primary and general election, you'll see he's very far from moderate.

of people like governor bobby jindal and others leapt to criticize what romney said. he said no, first of all we respect voters. we respect the decisions they make. secondly, that these programs are not gifts. and i think this is important. because one of the core arguments for the republican party this campaign was you guy you got big government and all the people are dependent on and and we should-- the idea was people are dependent on government are getting either some il legitimate things. but pushing back on romney, the undertone of what jindal and others have said is that no, government programs that help people succeed, help them rise, those are not il legitimate. those are ledge hit-- legitimate things. and i think it represents or potentially represents a way for the republican party to slightly alter their attitude about government from the crude position that all government programs are bad to a more nuanced position that some programs actually do help people and we appreciate those programs. and so i do think it is the beginning of a shifting in the party. at least potentia

to win. >> and how do you do that, george will? how do you do that. >> you begin where bobby jindal was. it's well said you have a problem when the voters don't like you but have a real problem when the voters think you don't like them. mitt romney was picking up the theme that he put before the country, that 47% video during the campaign, get back to quit despising the american people particularly because a lot of what they're despising them for, republican policies. when mitt romney said, so many americans aren't paying taxes, yeah, because the republicans doubled the child tax credit for conservative reasons, yes, because they expanded the earned income tax credit as ronald reagan did because they thought it was an effective anti-poverty program. >> congressman becerra, let me go to you on this. >> it's deja vu all over again. >> what are republicans doing to attract those certain members of the base? >> i don't think they read the tea leaves from november the 6th and i think they're still harkening to yesteryear. it's a new day in america and they should be catching up. he is the de

quickly. bobby jindal throwing mitt romney under the bus over the gifts comments. you have rubio going to iowa. but this is kind of a group that republicans were waiting for, right? this is kind of these people are presum presumably the young talent. >> 15, 16 months ago this time, all we were talking about was all of the republicans who refused to get into the race for 2012. a lot of them because the time wasn't right. obama, they thought, looked very strong and that ended up bearing out. or because they weren't ready. they had just been elected, people like chris christie, people like paul ryan. >> one cycle too soon. >> people like mike pence and mitch daniels, like jeb bush. the republicans have a very deep bench. bobby jindal, a bumper crop of governors and senators as well. >> michelle, molly mentioned chris christie. i will say i was -- i am surprised at the level of criticism he is getting within the republican world. >> absolutely. >> do you buy that this hurts chris christie in any meaningful way going forward? as a potential candidate? >> absolutely not. despite what is happ

in louisiana, the governor, bobby jindall, staunch romney supporterch these remarks, are categorically untrue. >> jindall, as conservative as they get weft have got to stop dividing the american voters. if we are going to be a competitive party and when elections on the national stage, and fight for principles we need two messages, one we are fighting for 100% of the votes. and second, our policies, benefit every american who wants to pursue the american dream. a lot of infighting between republicans. it is reminiscent, comments, about, the 47% tape, i'm confused as to how contraception, health care or college loans are racial issues and how they're, they're gifts to people. as opposed to tools to help people live a better or healthier life. >> you have to think this, this phone call with some of the top donors. here he was, they gave basically $900 million. sure they had some questions and were demanding some answers. because he didn't expect to raise $500 million. there he was raising $900 million. they're look what happened. you were telling us one thing. it didn't pan out. to be that way
